The Technology: Used by world-class athletes like Muhammad Ali, Olympic players and the like, is now available for use readily, from the comfort of our futon, any time, any where! Lightweight and wireless, you can use it while cooking, washing dishes, doing the laundry, or while working out for a more effective workout sesh! Slendertone uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to emit signals directly from the belt to your abdominal muscles, causing them to contract, work and relax in a similar way.

EMS works as a rehabilitation tool as a medical support kit for partially or totally immobilised patients, and as a strength and training tool for a perfectly healthy people, and as a post exercise recovery tool for athletes, causing it to gain even more momentum in the last few years. The device generates impulses that are then delivered to the skin, near the muscles being stimulated via electrodes. The impulses work effectively because of simply put, a phenomenon that mimics the body’s potential action that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. EMS is so effective a tool, that it is cited by sports physicians as an effective complementary technique for sports training. In USA, EMS has become one of the many devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)!

How does Slendertone work?

The core is literally the most important part of your body, and the most ignored. During everyday activities like sitting at your desk, walking and carrying groceries, the brain sends signals to the muscles via the nerves, making them contract and relax. Slendertone is clinically proven to do the same via electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) via the app-controlled toning belt, a state-of-the-art technology that is aided by years of research and development. It uses EMS to directly emit signals from the belt to the abdominal muscles, making them contract, relax and work in a similar fashion. Toning belt, an active lifestyle, a balanced diet can work wonders to give you the dream Instagram-like beach body that is envied more than loved by one and all!

Step 1- To start using the belt, first download the Slendertone app from the app store. Ensure the bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad is enabled, and login on the app, or sign up if you are a new user. Fill in your personal details like gender, date of birth, activity level (to the best of your knowledge) and your motivation to use the Slendertone Connect.

Step 3- Turn on the controller by holding down the Slendertone power button, press the ‘minus’ button and hold for three seconds, your controller should start sync once it has entered sync mode. Check that the last four digits on the back of your controller match the last four digits displayed on the screen and press continue.

Step 5- Let’s set up your Slendertone Connect belt. Remove the gel pads from the bag, remove the blue protective cover from the pattern side of the gel pads. Place your gel pads on the connect belt with the pattern side down. Each belt is equipped with markings to allow the gel pads to align the gel pad correctly with your oblique muscles. Ensure that the metal studs are fully covered.

Step 6- To insert the controller into the belt hole stud, lay the belt on a fiat surface and press the controller down into the hole stud until it clicks into place. Ensure all the metal connectors are aligned. Remove the clear plastic covers from the gel pads and preserve them, because you will be covering the gel pads again with the plastic covers after your toning session.

Step 7- Now it’s time to put the belt on your body, centre the gel pads over your navel and the oval pads on either sides between your hip bone and your waist. Press the gel pads firmly on your skin and tighten the belt. Power up your controller by pressing and holding the power button until you hear the startup tone.
